THE ESSENCE OF HIS VICARIOUS DEATH: The Bible lets us know that God laid our sins, along with our sicknesses and diseases on Jesus. He had been made “sin”: “For he hath made him to be sin for us, who knew no sin…” (2 Corinthians 5:21). He descended into hell. He engaged Satan and his cohorts in a spiritual combat, defeated them, and made a public spectacle of them. Jesus triumphed over Satan for all humanity! After three days, the Son of God came out of the grave victorious. Now, all who believe in Him and confess Him as Lord, become new creations (2 Corinthians 5:17), with the eminent title of being His “brothers and sisters” (John 20:17). This is what Easter means to us; it’s the celebration of the significance of Christ’s death, burial, and resurrection; He came to die that we may live. Following His vicarious death for us, we’re now bona fide children of God, superior beings, born with His very nature and life! Hallelujah!
